The Croft baronetcy, of Croft Castle in the County of Hereford, was created in the Baronetage of England on 18 November 1671 for Herbert Croft, who later represented Herefordshire in Parliament.[2] He was a member of a prominent Herefordshire family of Norman descent.
The 2nd Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Leominster, and Bere Alston. The 5th Baronet was an author. The 9th Baronet represented Herefordshire in the House of Commons, from 1868 to 1874.[3]
The heir apparent to the baronetcy is Thomas Jasper Croft (born 1962), only son of the 14th Baronet.[12]
